Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, pianist Chi Wei Lo started studying piano
at the age of three. He soon established himself as one of the
prominently gifted children in the country, and has experienced
success sharing his sincere love for music, winning all the major
national piano competitions. After winning First Prize in the
Chinese Performing Arts Festival in 2005, he performed Liszt’s
Totentanz with Longwood Symphony Orchestra at Boston’s Esplanade,
under the baton of Jonathan McPhee. Mr. Lo’s creativity and style
made the year 2008 marked by numerous accomplishments, including
First Prize in the A. Ramon Rivera Piano Competition, The New
England Conservatory’s Preparatory School Concerto Competition in
the top category. In the year of 2010, Mr. Lo would go on to win the
Steinway competition.
Along with standard repertoire, Mr. Lo has arranged songs from pop
and rock artists including Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and Queen,
and has received praises for these repertoires in Asia, the United
States, and Europe. Having graduated from the Juilliard School under
the guidance of Mr. Jerome Lowenthal and Mr. Hung Kuan Chen in 2016,
Mr. Lo also enjoys an active schedule of performances as a soloist
and chamber player and is expanding his creativity through different
genres of music. In 2017, Mr. Lo became a doctoral candidate at the
New England Conservatory, majoring in contemporary piano
improvisation, under the guidance of Mr. Ran Blake and Mr. Anthony
Coleman. Performances in 2018 include a debut at TECO (Taipei
Economic and Cultural Office in New York) with New Asia Chamber
Society; a debut at Tufts University with Psychopomp, improvising on
the “intermezzo” of the silent film, Metropolis (1927) , using a
prepared piano and newly made percussion instruments.
During the summer of 2018, Mr. Lo received high praise for his
interdisciplinary piano recital, “Declaration of Aesthetics,” which
acts out the life of Vincent van Gogh. In addition, Mr. Lo was
commissioned by the Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation (KRTC) to
write a composition, “For Kaohsiung,” in celebration of its 10 years
anniversary, and was invited to participate in a series of related
events including a press conference, a flashmob recital, and the
printing of Mr. Lo’s limited edition Metro card.
To celebrate his new album, 12/12, which was released in November,
Mr. Lo’s promotional tour included appearances in more than ten
radio stations in Taiwan and two benefit concerts for the Kaohsiung
City Cerebral Palsy Association. “I have always felt that musicians
have a responsibility to help and give back to their community,”
said Mr. Lo. “We must not forget our roots, and that’s why I have
chosen to start charity events in Kaohsiung, my birth city, with
hopes to expand and give back to more communities worldwide.”
